1.  Introduction

   YANG [RFC6020] is a data definition language that was introduced to
   define the contents of a conceptual data store that allows networked
   devices to be managed using NETCONF [RFC6241].  YANG is proving
   relevant beyond its initial confines, as bindings to other interfaces
   (e.g.  ReST) and encodings other than XML (e.g.  JSON) are being
   defined.  Furthermore, YANG data models can be used as the basis of
   implementation for other interfaces, such as CLI and programmatic
   APIs.

   This document defines a YANG data model that can be used to configure
   and manage Service Function Chains

2.  Definitions and Acronyms

   The reader should be familiar with the terms contained in
   [I-D.quinn-sfc-arch], [I-D.quinn-sfc-problem-statement]
   ,[I-D.quinn-nsh] and [I-D.quinn-vxlan-gpe]

3.  VXLAN-GPE

   This model describes the VXLAN-GPE encapsulation when used as a
   overlay mechanism to create service function paths.  VXLAN is one of
   many transport protocols that can be used to setup service chaining
   overlays.

5.  Service Function Chain (SFC)

   This model describes a service function chain which is basically an
   ordered list of services.  But a service function chain does not
   specify exactly which service (firewal1 vs. firewall2) will be used
   to actually process packets.

6.  Service Node (SN)

   A Service Node is a virtual or physical element that houses one or
   more service functions.  A Service node might contain an entire
   service function chain or be part of a larger service function chain.

7.  Service Function Path (SFP)

   A Service Function Path is an instantiation of a service function
   chain.  It specifies the actual service functions (e.g. firewall1)
   and the transport encapsulation used in the overlay.

8.  Service Function Forwarder (SFF)

   This module describes the configuration a SFF needs to have in order
   to route packets to the service functions it serves. the SFF needs to
   have a table with service function name and associated locator.  The
   locator could be an IP address and port, an internal function call or
   some other unique identifier.

9.  IANA Considerations

12.  Changes

   -03

   o  After Opendaylight Testing converted multiple leafs to lists
      throughout all models

   o  Removed transport dependency.  Transport could be layer-2,
      layer-3, etc

   o  Used pathrefs similar to ietf-interfaces to reference
      configuration names

   o  Other consistency fixes
